Gene I was out of town for 2 days last week.  When I got home I had 6 
messages in my ATIS folder.  I figure anything that anyone says on this
list 
these days is just helping to keep the doors open.  You're right, I
should 
have changed the subject line, I just don't think it affected too many
folks 
that I didn't.
